Quick Synopsis
In this Hong Kong action-comedy, Alan Tam, a 25-year-old triad leader known more for his timid nature than toughness, faces a personal crisis when his father suffers a heart attack after losing a card game to Christy, a skilled cat burglar. Determined to seek justice, Alan teams up with Drunk Shooter, the city's top marksman who struggles with alcoholism. However, their mission becomes complicated because Christy has also stolen from Francis Ng, a volatile triad boss who is now pursuing her as well. Adding to the tension, Alan finds himself conflicted because he is captivated by Christy's beauty and reluctant to harm her. The story follows their chaotic interactions as these conflicting interests collide.
Detailed Synopsis of 97 Aces Go Places
Eternal 25 year-old Alan Tam is a wimpy triad boss who must avenge his dad because he had a heart attack after losing at cards to a pretty cat burglar. For help, he enlists Drunk Shooter, HK’s ace gunman, who’s also an incredible souse. Problem: Christy ripped off wacky triad boss Francis Ng, so he wants her, too. Even worse, Alan just doesn't want to kill Christy because she’s too damn beautiful. Hijinks ensue.
